Sure post anything that you feel would be helpful. The reason I wanted to focus
on clubs is that they are essentially providing free advertising for LEGO which
can be quantified and have a value attached. Any time you can say that LEGO

That isn't to say that folks with personal layouts arn't effected. It is just
harder to quantify and then make a justification for not discontinuing the line
based on that.
Anyway please post anything you feel would be of value.
